Chapter 137 The Merchant's Secret

"Dad?" I yelled twice, but my dad didn't respond at all.

"When will he wake up?" I could only ask Qi Tian again.

"I can wake up at night. It's nothing serious, but my spiritual power is a bit overdrawn." Qi Tian didn't care.

For a big brother like him, even if there is only a little remnant soul left after being injured, it is not a big deal.

I asked Zhefei to fetch a basin of water, dipped a towel in the water and helped my dad wipe off the blood on his face.

There are a lot of snacks in my house, and I ate one bag after another all day long, and I haven't left yet.

I suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Guanzhu Qi, you have all the people in the world in your heart, I really admire you!"

Qi Tian looked at Erlang's legs and motioned for me to continue talking.

"Look, you've helped me so many times, you're really a kind person! You're well-informed, kind-hearted, and you've taught so many Taoists in this Qingxu temple! You must be a A great person who is willing to preach, receive karma and solve doubts for others!"

Qi Tian nodded frequently, it seemed that the tall hat was very comfortable for him to wear.

Suddenly, I changed the subject: "So Guanzhu Qi, you must be willing to tell us about Shang Junhao's family!"

Qi Tian nodded habitually, and by the time he realized that he was being tricked, it was already too late.

He glared at me, Lan Zhe quickly jumped up behind him, pinched Qi Tian's shoulders and beat his back with a dog-leg look.

Judging by his proficient technique, he knew that he must have been flattering a lot.

"Monastery Lord, just tell us! You have raised me so much, I must share some of it for you! You don't say a word, you are bored in your heart, it's not good to be suffocated! You are our pure and empty viewer. Pillar, you have fallen, what should I do with my brothers and sisters!"

He talked eloquently, and Qi Tian was amused by him: "Okay, you're the one with the sweetest tongue. Go and pour me a cup of tea."

"Okay!" Lan Zhefei ran away in a hurry, and came back with a tea set and a box of tea after a while.

He skillfully brewed tea and gave each of us a cup.

Qi Tian took a sip of his tea, leaned on the sofa and said, "It's not that I deliberately hid it from you, this matter is just retribution, and it's useless if you know about it."

retribution?

Was Shang Junhao and his family doing something wrong?

Lan Zhefei and I looked at each other, feeling a little complicated in our hearts.

Qi Tian asked us: "Do you know who the owner of the merchant company was ten years ago?"

Isn't it Shang Junhao's family?
Thinking of Qi Tian's words, I couldn't help but think of another possibility: "Could it be Shang Junhao's uncle's family?"

Qi Tian nodded.

I am surprised.

Lan Zhefei knew something about Shang Junhao's family. Hearing this, he asked softly, "Could it be that after his uncle's family died, his parents took over his uncle's family property?"

"Almost." Qi Tian nodded, "Shang Junhao and his family originally opened a small company, and the income was not as good as that of his uncle's, but much higher than that of ordinary families. After his uncle's family passed away, the property fell into the into the hands of his parents."

"Then was the death of his uncle's family an accident or..."

Qi Tian glanced at me and smiled: "Didn't you guys see that chameleon? His uncle's family went camping in Huangyan Mountain, and then he died. The luck of the merchant was about to dissipate after his uncle's death. But I heard from Yunzhi that Ye Chen helped Shang Junhao change Feng Shui?"

I nodded: "This is Shang Junhao's own request. He also knows that there will be disadvantages in doing so, but he still wants to keep his parents' hard work."

Qi Tian sneered: "Since he knows that there will be retribution, why does he need to find someone to clean up the mess now?"

I was taken aback.

Lan Zhefei hurriedly asked: "Monastery Master, are you saying that everything now is because Shang Junhao changed Feng Shui?"

Qi Tian nodded slightly.

I wondered: "But why did the disadvantages appear so quickly? Qin Yechen said that it will take at least a few decades to appear!"

"I went to see the feng shui formation set up by Ye Chen, and it is indeed a superior formation. If there are no accidents, it will guarantee the merchants a hundred years of prosperity and no worries." Qi Tian said.

"Then what happened now?"

"When Ye Chen comes back, don't you go and have a look?" Qi Tian was too lazy to say, "I'll stop here. It's not something you can change your luck at will. If you borrow the luck from your descendants, you'll have to pay it back sooner or later." The luck of the descendants of the merchants is mediocre. Ye Chen must have spent a lot of effort in order to keep Shang Junhao's current luck, and he may have suffered a secret injury. I really can't understand how he would be willing to do such a thankless job thing."

thankless...

He did all that so that I could wear this diamond ring...

He is an ancient man and does not understand the ways of modern people.He only knew that he wanted to be nice to me, so he went to ask Lan Zhefei.Lan Zhefei said he wanted a diamond ring, and the diamond ring cost a lot of money.Shang Junhao wanted to change Feng Shui and was willing to give money, so Qin Yechen did it.

This diamond is still a top-level configuration, Qin Yechen must not understand diamond craftsmanship.Even if I didn't see the picture of him going out to buy a diamond ring, I can imagine that he must have visited all the jewelry stores and bought me the most expensive one.

He did all the thankless things for me.When he came back, he didn't tell me a word.

What a fool!
I don't know if the injury healed at that time...

Qi Tian left, and Lan Zhefei also left.

I dozed off unconsciously and heard someone calling me.

"Miss Xia Sheng? Miss Xia Sheng..."

There is a vast expanse of whiteness and mist all around.I walked inside in a daze, and gradually saw a figure not far in front of me.

"Miss Xia Sheng!" The man smiled at me, he was a complete stranger.

I looked at him suspiciously, not remembering where I had seen this man before.He looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, a little younger than Zhe Fei.Wearing an ancient blouse, he looks a bit like a servant of a rich family.

"Who are you?" I asked curiously.

He hurriedly introduced himself: "I am a new follower from the Chang Xiao Mansion. Ye Jun ordered me to entrust you with a dream, saying that he would stay in the Chang Xiao Land for two more days, so that Miss Xia Sheng would not have to worry about him. This is my lord. Letters to Girls"

"Which Yejun?" I asked cautiously.

The servant smiled: "It's Lord Yechen! He's back!" His tone and eyes were full of admiration for Yechen.

"What about Yeran?" I took the letter and asked again.

"Master Ye Ran is still in the Nether Palace..." The boy mentioned this matter, his voice was a little soft.

It seems that Yeran is still closed.I don't understand, what is he doing to destroy the Sansheng Stone.Now it's a disaster!
I groaned a few words in my heart, and seeing this young servant was clever, I asked again: "What is Ye Jun doing after returning to the Land of Chang Xiao?"

I was actually a little worried, and I didn't know whether it was Ye Chen or Qin Yechen who ordered the servant to come over.

The little servant thought for a while, and then said: "Ye Jun is in the pharmacy, and the place is too small to get in, so I don't know anything else."

That is probably because Qin Yechen got the medicine and directly refined it in Changxiao Mansion.Anyway, Yeran is not around, he is the biggest in the whole land of howling.

Moreover, I remember him saying that if the medicine cauldron used for refining medicine is not good, the quality of the medicine produced will be different.

The small cauldron that he used to practice special medicine for me is just an ordinary medicine cauldron, but the medicine cauldron in Changxiao Mansion must be a high-grade medicine cauldron, and the refined medicine is even better.

The duration of such a dream depends entirely on the level of mana of the dreamer. This boy's mana is not high, but he holds a night card in his hand, which has enough mana to keep him in the dream.

However, if the dream is too long, it will also cause damage to the entrusted dreamer.

After thinking about this, I didn't keep this guy any longer: "Then you tell Ye Jun who told you to pass the message, just say that I know, just let him calm down, I'm not in a hurry here. We probably don't care about the business. I can't control it anymore."

Although the boy didn't understand it very well, he memorized them all.

The surrounding white mist gradually disappeared and turned into darkness.I woke up from the dream with a letter in my hand.

This is the kind of long envelope in ancient times, with the words "Xia Sheng personally entrusted" written on it, and there are restrictions around it, so as not to be opened by others secretly.

This was the first time I received a letter from Qin Yechen, and I was extremely excited.

Carefully tore off the seal, and there were three pieces of paper inside.No, this is silk, not paper.

I took out the nature and opened it, and at the top it said "Sheng Sheng my wife".

my wife...

Looking at these two words, I felt my little heart beating wildly, as if there was a frightened deer inside.

Suppressing my excitement, I continued to read.The general content of the letter was similar to what I had guessed, Qin Yechen decided to stay in the Land of Long Howling for a few days in order to refine high-quality Intermittent Ointment.

Plus, he said he might take a trip to Hades.If there is something, he must go and talk to Pluto.

As for what it was, he didn't specify.Although this letter was banned by him, it was not guaranteed to be intercepted and peeped. It was right not to write the important content.

Anyway, things in the underworld have nothing to do with me, and I'm not interested in it.

There are not too many sweet words in the letter, just like an ordinary letter from home.A husband traveling far away is telling his wife about his itinerary for the next few days.

It's just that Qin Yechen wrote four words at the end of the letter - wish his wife well.

His handwriting is strong and strong, and the silk used to write the letter is originally a good material, but it still can't match his longing for me.A deep "Nian" almost penetrates the tissue paper.

The signature of the letter is "Husband Qin Yechen".

I read the letter over and over again, almost engraved every word into my head, and almost memorized every sentence, but I was still as excited as I was at the beginning.

Sitting on the sofa, I clutched the letter by myself, laughing and trembling.This is the first love letter Qin Yechen wrote to me, right?

Thinking of this makes me happier!

"It would be foolish to laugh any longer."

Suddenly there was a sound of disgust from the side, and I was startled, only then did I realize that my dad had already woken up.

I wanted to go forward to help him up, but he hurriedly stopped me: "Don't move! Don't move! Dad can do it himself."

He sat up with some difficulty, a little puzzled: "Why am I here?"

"Qi Tian rescued you. Dad, what happened? Are you really not hurt?" I became worried again.

My dad smiled: "It's okay, it's just that the mana is a bit too much, and I'll come back after two days of raising it. I have to thank the heavens!"

"Dad, let's call him Qi Tian or Guanzhu Qi from now on. Zhe Fei and the others don't know Qi Tian's true identity yet, so it's not good if we miss out." I reminded.

My dad understood and said he understood.

"By the way, hasn't the son-in-law come back yet?" He looked around and asked again.

I nodded, and told my dad about Qin Yechen's stay in the Chang Xiao Land.

"What's in your hand?" My dad had been staring at my hand for a long time, and seeing that I hadn't said anything, he finally couldn't help asking.

I chuckled: "Qin Yechen asked a little ghost to give me the letter from Tuomeng."

My dad was also young, and he must have sent a lot of love letters to my mom at that time!As soon as I said it, he showed a knowing smile, waved his hand at me, and didn't ask any more questions.

I put the letter away properly, moved it to the wheelchair and poured a glass of water for my dad: "Dad, we may not be able to manage the business."

My dad was drinking water, and I told him everything Qi Tian told us.

After listening, my dad sighed a long time: "Shengsheng, don't be too sad. In our line of work, we have seen many such things in the future. It is not nonsense to say that there is a god standing three feet above the head. .”

"Have you encountered it before?" I asked curiously.

My dad nodded, sighed and said: "These people did evil in the past, and now they have been punished, and they look pitiful. But the people who were harmed by him back then are even more pitiful? It's all very unpleasant."

People's hearts are all fleshy, so naturally they are somewhat biased towards the weak.I really knew why I had to do it today.

It's getting dark already, and after the summer solstice, it gets dark early.

My father rested for a while, and his physical strength has recovered.Seeing that it was already meal time, he planned to go to the cafeteria to pack our meals back.

As soon as he opened the door, he stopped at the door.

I sat in the wheelchair curiously and saw Shang Junhao standing at the door with two bags of things, his face haggard.

When is he at the door?He didn't hear everything that my dad and I said just now...

My dad reacted quickly, pretending he didn't know anything, and greeted Shang Junhao as usual: "Junhao is here, come in and sit down."

Shang Junhao entered the room, and I poured him a cup of tea out of the principle of pretending to be stupid.

Shang Junhao put the bag in his hand on the coffee table, and said, "I packed some meals for you and uncle from the hotel, and some snacks for you."

"Thank you." I really think Shang Junhao is a nice guy.

My dad also thanked me, and said with a smile: "I was planning to go to the cafeteria to pack some food for Sheng Sheng, and I came back, so you came here, what a coincidence." The conversation changed, "How long have you been here?"

"I heard what you said." Shang Junhao said with his head down.

My dad was in the process of unpacking the takeaway boxes.He is usually very vigilant, but today he woke up only after his mana was exhausted. In addition, this is a pure and virtual meditation, so he felt safe, so he relaxed.

As for me, my attention was all on Qin Yechen's letter from the beginning, and I didn't even notice when there were more people outside.

"I didn't intend to eavesdrop on your father and daughter on purpose, but when I came here, I happened to hear you saying that the business can't help you..." The more he said, the more uncomfortable he became.

Naturally, I never thought of hiding this matter from Shang Junhao, but I will find a gentler way to tell him.

I didn't expect him to know about it under such circumstances.

"Is it really impossible to help? The death of my uncle and his family has nothing to do with us!" Shang Junhao was a little annoyed, "It is not wrong for my father to take over the property of my uncle's family, but if he doesn't take it, the company will be taken over by others." People are divided! At that time, all my uncle's painstaking efforts will be in vain, and even the child he left behind will starve to death long ago!"

"Didn't your cousin die together?" I asked suspiciously.

"It's my uncle's illegitimate child outside." Shang Junhao sighed, "Before their family went camping in Huangyan Mountain, a woman took her child to the old house. My aunt and cousin went back to their mother's house to visit relatives, so I still I don't know."

"The woman had a quarrel at home in order to get a name. She accidentally fell into the well. When she was rescued, she was already dead..."

"The child was still young at the time, probably in the fourth or fifth grade of elementary school. My uncle was afraid that my aunt would not recognize the child and sent him to the orphanage because she knew that she would get half of the property after divorcing him."

Scumbag!

My grandma couldn't bear it, so she asked my dad to secretly take care of the director of the orphanage and let them take care of the child more.

The uncle and his family died within a few days, and the child was taken back by his grandparents and took care of him.

That child is also poor.

"By the way, about my uncle's family property, my dad originally planned it that way." Shang Junhao hasn't given up on asking them to help him, "Now the company's assets are fifty times what it was then, and the equity has already been divided into a lot. I went out to give to the veterans who have struggled with the company all the way. Today, my dad still holds 70% of the shares. My dad, although the company is now the size of his hard work, but after all, he also has the foundation of his uncle. He is willing to 19% of the equity is given to the child, and we still hold 51% and are the owners of the company."

Afraid that we might misunderstand, Shang Junhao quickly explained after saying this: "Shang Gaoyi - that kid back then, he dropped out of high school and has been dawdling around. He can only be an idle shareholder, and can't manage the company."

That being said, regarding his uncle, I feel that Shang Junhao's father did nothing wrong either.

Even if his father doesn't occupy the company, the company will be divided up by others, and then changed to Yizhi, then it would be better to take advantage of his own people.

After all, legally speaking, his parents also have the right to inherit the company.

Secondly, Shang Junhao's father did not monopolize the company.Not much to say about the shares given to the veterans, but he is willing to give 19% of the shares to Shang Gaoyi, willing to support him, is it the best of benevolence?

I feel that I am like a weed with soft ears, and whoever says something is right will fall to him.

"So please help me! Even if I get retribution for changing Feng Shui, it's my own retribution. My parents are innocent!"

My dad rubbed his chin and shook his head: "It is your family who benefited from changing Feng Shui, so the whole family is not innocent."

Shang Junhao choked.

My dad sighed, and said again: "However, I think those ghosts in your family are not just because of Feng Shui. It's better to discuss this matter after my son-in-law comes back."

I suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, you recognized the mummy in Chameleon's mouth as your uncle's family, why didn't you tell us?"

Shang Junhao was shocked: "What? They are my uncle's family?"

"Don't you know? Haven't you bumped into them before? They are wearing the same suit."

Shang Junhao shook his head and nodded again: "I bumped into it a few times before, but there was only one head, and I only saw the face, hands, etc., and never saw the whole picture. When my uncle and his family passed away, how would I know? What clothes are they wearing!"

It turned out to be like this, but he couldn't be blamed.

However, looking at his exhausted posture, he must be very annoyed by this matter.

My stomach growled, and I ate the dinner brought by Shang Junhao together with my dad.

After all, it is also because of the merchants that we have fallen to where we are today.

What Shang Junhao packed was food from a high-end hotel in Zeyun City, which was exceptionally delicious.

While envious of these rich people, I saw a woman rushing in at the door angrily.

"Junhao, what's the matter with you!" It was Mrs. Shang.

Shang Junhao probably knew what she was doing for a long time, so he was not surprised, but he was a little unhappy, and reminded her: "Mom, this is Qingxu Temple."

"I don't care where this is! Let me ask you, what are you and your dad doing! You actually gave 19% of the shares to that illegitimate son! Do you know how much the 19% of the shares are! You actually gave the agreement behind my back today! Signed!"

It turned out that Shang Junhao was busy with this all day today.

Dad and I pretended not to hear about the internal affairs of the rich family, and ate on our own.

Mrs. Shang was terrified that she had been arguing with their father and son for a long time. Shang Junhao sighed and said coldly: "Even if we have been given so many shares, we may not be saved. Mom, you have a life to make money, and more The important thing is to spend money wisely!"

Mrs. Shang's eyes fell on me and my dad, looking at my broken foot, her body trembling slightly and grinding her teeth: "Really...they came back? But we didn't cause them! Why did you find us! "

She was apprehensive and angry at the same time.

I do not know why either.

My dad said quietly: "Maybe he is jealous of you. The living have jealousy, and the dead also have it, and it will only become stronger."

Shang Junhao was puzzled: "What are you jealous of?"

"I'm jealous that you are still alive, you can live a superior life, and you can eat delicious food. If you are jealous, everything can be a reason for jealousy." I said.

The faces of Shang Junhao's mother and son were not very good: "But this can't drag us to our deaths..."

"Long-term jealousy will turn into obsession. If it is dominated by obsession, it is irrational. This is why the underworld immediately seduces people after death. The purpose is to prevent them from turning into ghosts to haunt the world. "My dad explained.

"Then why are the souls of my uncles still alive?" Shang Junhao asked again.

"So many people die every day, it's normal for the ecstasy to miss something. What's more, they can turn into such ghosts in ten years. If there is no chance, I don't believe it." My dad was thoughtful.

Just as he was thinking about the opportunity, Shang Junhao's cell phone rang.He took it out and looked at it, his face paled instantly, and he fell straight to the ground.
